Summary: | In this study, we identified Plasmopara-viticola-lesion-associated mononegaambi virus 3 (recently classified as
), a fungi-associated mymonavirus, in grapevine plants showing an unusual upward curling symptomatology on the leaves and premature decline.
is a family comprising nine genera of negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses infecting filamentous fungi, although few of them have been associated with oomycetes, plants, and insects. Although the first mymonavirus genome description was reported a decade ago, the genome organization of several genera in the family, including the genus
has remained unclear to date. We have determined the complete genome of
which represents the first complete genomic sequence for this genus. Moreover, we provide strong evidence that
genome is bipartite and comprises two RNA molecules of around 6150 and 4560 nt. Our results indicate that the grapevine powdery mildew pathogen,
was also present in the analyzed plants and suggest
could be infecting this fungus. However, whether the fungus and/or the mycovirus are associated with the symptomatology that initially prompted these efforts remains to be determined. |
